Hey Folks, Starting up a build thread of my first truck I picked up back in August of last year. The stars aligned and I was able to get a great deal so pulled the trigger on a 21' Chevy Silverado 1500 3.0L Duramax. I have plans of traveling cross country to mountain bike (has great mpg for a...

I'm new to overland camping but not camping. I want to outfit my new truck so that we can use it for trips and not haul our travel trailer. There are 6 of us. My wife and I are fine with sleeping in the bed and putting the 4 kids in a rooftop tent (they don't weigh too much). I am just not...

I found a 99 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 160k miles for sale a couple hours from me. It was incredibly cheap due to the massive dent down the driver side. I waited a couple months and watched the price drop lower and lower till I couldn’t help myself and went and picked it up. She has a few issues...

Starting up this thread as I begin to accumulate mods and additions for my Trail Boss. Just took her out on her first overland this past weekend (link to that thread to come) but felt it was finally the right time to start taking pictures and posting about her. This christening voyage is also...

For those folks running a Chevy / Sierra setup, I did a little write up on how I installed a Front facing camera on my 2017 Silverado. Anybody that's been off in the sticks knows a front facing camera is golden to see where you are going and avoid those titanic sharp rocks... Rostra...

I thought it might be good to have a gear thread specifically for Full Size rigs. I have a Silverado Crew Cab and have a tough time finding items sometimes. First item I have is for Ditch Light brackets specifically for 2014-2018 Silverado's. If anyone has any other Full Size specific gear...

Soooooooooooooo I had 2 weeks till my 35th birthday and I decided to pretty much change the way my Work/Life balance was going and pulled the trigger on enjoying life and start exploring! So I went out, traded my Audi S4 for a new 2019 Silverado Trail Boss CrewCab so I had a good starting...

Alright everyone I'm looking to get my overland rig and have my sights set on a 2003-2006 Chevy Silverado (my favorite body style), crew cab to fit the family. Full-size truck is just the way to go for me. However my dilemma is I can't really decide if I should get a 1/2 or a 3/4 ton pickup...

I figured it was time to start a thread, mainly so I can ask everyone's advice as I build up haha. Pretty much all stock as of right now except for a 2.5" leveling kit. I think I regret not going for the 3" lift though. Oh well. Hoping to get bigger tires towards the end of this year. Just...

Here is my 1997 Silverado K1500 that I'm building. It is used for a winter daily, overlander, tows my boat and car hauler. I bought it 4 years ago with ~220k for $1500.

HELLO! My wife and I have recently made the commitment to full time overland-living. We have sold the 4Runner and bought a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71. We have also purchased a 2019 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FBQ. I will use this forum to document the build process (if only for...

So the next thing im doing to my 2017 silverado is to lift it off the stock hight. Going up to 3.5" The kit Im getting requires a new knuckle. Which in turn requires a small spacer to help my stock rims clear that knuckle. 1/4"-3/8" is all I need. My question is does anyone have a...

Hello everyone! So I was trying to get some knowledge on the impacts of attempting to fit 35"s on a Silverado and I would greatly appreciate anyone input. Current set up: 2017 Z71 4x4 5.3l V8 Silverado Leveled 2.5" with Goodyear Wargler Duratrack 31"s So I found this stock set up to be quite...

Where is everyone mounting their Compressors? I just picked up an ARB CKMTA12 and I'm not sure where the best place to mount it would be. Its going on a daily driven 2015 Silverado. I know the second battery tray would be the easiest but I want to go dual battery eventually.

SkyCamp by Ikamper This is sort of a hybrid rooftop tent. With a clamshell style hard shell top with a folding extension. Unfortunately, racks cannot be attached to the shell like some james baroud and Alu-cabs tents. Footprint inside is the size of a king size bed so there's plenty of room...

I got my Silverado 4 years ago and it's taken me on a ton of adventures. It's become my way to get out of the city, rally down forest service roads, and set up my little home away from home. 2008 Chevrolet Silverado LT 4wd w/ factory locking rear differential Modifications Duratrac 285/70R17...

I have been bouncing from forum to forum, page to page, app to app for the last couple months gathering ideas, and inspiration. I recently purchased a new to me 2016 Silverado, Crew Cab. 4wd. Loved the thought of a land cruiser or 4runner but I really needed a pickup. Maybe one of those will...

Hello, 36 year old male from a small town in Indiana. Finally got a pickup truck which I plan hauling a motorcycle across the country. I'm currently trying to outfit the truck with a proper camping set up. This particular truck is not intended to do crazy off-road adventures....but, more of...
